About this role
Working on a multidisciplinary design team at CannonDesign, you'd support licensed engineers on electrical systems across diverse project types—commercial buildings, educational facilities, healthcare, and sports venues. Your work would span the full design lifecycle, from initial concepts through detailed technical documentation, with hands-on involvement in shop drawing reviews and occasional site visits to assess existing conditions and construction progress.
The role calls for someone currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering with strong communication skills. Experience using design software like Revit MEP or SKM Power Tools is preferred but not required. You'd be working remotely from the Chicago office, earning $22.25 to $26.25 per hour, with the possibility of transitioning to a full-time entry-level position if business needs align and you meet the qualifications.
CannonDesign offers a standard benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, flexible scheduling, and a 401(k) plan. The firm emphasizes a collaborative culture with transparent communication and active commitment to diversity and inclusion.
